Chapter 415: Solving Problems and Bringing Change Through the Night
After characterizing the matter, Zhou Xiao began to patiently pull the two of them to study the truth of the matter, with the experience of later generations, these two girls are not the kind of people who are ignorant and can mess around in his opinion, so he calmed down, pulled out the things that the two of them experienced and explained them clearly, and gradually restored the truth, so that the two sides no longer speculated, but really figured out what happened.
To be precise, what happened between Amina Sato and Yona Kojima didn't quarrel much, the two people in the locker room just pushed Sato twice, and Kojima was arguing with Sato more loudly.
However, it is impossible for Sato to dare to quarrel with Kojima, so she is simply shedding tears.
According to Sato's explanation, her relationship with the so-called Kojima senior's rice was actually just before joining the group, and the two met a few times in private, and most of the time they talked about AKB.
The really bad thing is that Kojima's rice.,After seeing the female rice I knew before entering the AKB.,This Kojima's rice spread things everywhere out of vanity.,Even added oil and vinegar.,Sato and him went out on a date.,As a result, such a thing spread to Kojima.,Plus some misunderstandings.,It's understood by Kojima that Sato is dating her rice after joining the group and wants to snatch the other party to his side.,This will be mad.。
"Look, it's a lot easier when things are clear, right?" After finally figuring things out, Zhou Xiao sat up straight and said.
"Brother Zhou Xiao...... Thank you......" Sato said.
"Actually, I don't need to help with this. As long as it takes a long time, you will slowly figure it out, and I will talk about this today. It's just to help you figure out the truth of the matter in advance. Zhou Xiaodao.
"Thank you, Brother Zhou Xiao." Xiao Dao also said on the side, the two girls were also very moved, Zhou Xiao was such a busy man who came to the theater overnight to enlighten the two of them, which is enough to prove that Zhou Xiao cares about AKB and cares about the girls.
"Kojima, although I said it just now, I have to go into it again. If you have something to come to me, don't hold it in your heart, and don't speculate. I can understand what you did this time, and it's normal for you to get angry when you encounter this kind of thing, but you don't come and tell me, or don't come and tell me when I clearly warned you before. That's what makes me the most angry. ”
"Yes...... I got ......."
"Sato too. If you have any questions in the future, you must come to me, don't hold back in your heart, do you? Zhou Xiao asked.
"Really...... It's true? Sato asked with some hesitation.
"Of course it's true, why do you have any problems?" Zhou Xiao saw Sato's hesitation.
"I ...... Can I use the dance classroom in the evenings? I want to practice dancing at night but I don't have a place. ”
"Don't have a place to dance? I think you're supposed to be from Tokyo, right? Don't have a room at home? Zhou Xiao asked.
"I didn't ...... The place at home is very small, and there is no place for me to practice dancing. Sato said.
"I remember you danced well in graduate school, where did you practice?" Zhou Xiao asked.
"Is it ...... At a park near my home, I ...... every night," Sato said.
"At night? In the park? Zhou Xiao was very surprised.
The security in Japan is very good, but no matter how good the security is, a girl practicing dance in a dark park at night will definitely be very scared.
"I'm sorry. I was negligent, so be it. Tomorrow I will measure with the operator, in a situation like yours, the operation will provide you with a place to live, which may not be too big, but at least it will ensure that you have space to practice dance and live. Zhou Xiao said.
"Brother Zhou Xiao, why don't you ...... Let her go live with me, right? Kojima said suddenly from the side.
Yona Kojima is a native of Saitama Prefecture, which is very close to Tokyo, so she used to go home and live every day, but after working at AKB for a long time, she has completely decided to work hard at AKB, so she simply moved to Tokyo.
"Where are you?" Zhou Xiao was surprised.
"Yes, I've been renting there recently, although the place is not big, but the transportation is very convenient, and several members live there, and they also take care of each other." Kojima said.
"That's ......," Zhou Xiao looked at Sato.
"Is it really possible, Kojima-senpai?"
"Well, no problem, today's incident is indeed my fault, I'm too uncalm." Kojima said.
"Thank you, senior." Sato agreed.
Seeing the two reconcile, Zhou Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally concluded: "Many times, quarrels and disagreements are not really who made mistakes, but misunderstandings between each other because of information asymmetry, at this time, it is very important for both sides to calm down first and explain things clearly, AKB is a combination, you should all be comrades-in-arms, if you can't treat each other sincerely, how can you have a good performance on the stage?" ”
"Yes, we know." Yona Kojima and Ami Sato said after looking at each other.
"Okay, it's not too early, you can go back first, and the rest will be done tomorrow if needed." Zhou Xiao found a car for the two of them to go home, but he himself did not leave immediately, but sat in the office and continued to think about what happened today.
The incident between Yona Kojima and Ami Sato made Zhou Xiao understand one of the reasons why Sato was ostracized by the operation in his previous life, and the reason was in the members, Sato never got too good treatment in his previous life, even if he didn't get the right treatment on the single of the general election, this kind of behavior is very slap in the face for the operation, the meaning of your general election is to let the rice choose the selection members in their minds, but the girl's leap forward did not get the corresponding treatment, Isn't this general election a slap in the face?
Moreover, if there is no reason for the operation of this move, it is not the rice that will be hurt the most, but the members, who originally thought that even if they were not officially promoted, the members who finally had a chance found that even if they got an excellent ranking, as long as they were not liked by the operation, it would be difficult to get ahead. It can be said that if one operation is not good, it is easy for the vast majority of members to lose their self-motivation. When the time comes, the cohesion of the whole team and the atmosphere of hard work will be cold, and AKB will not be so easy to bring.
Therefore, Zhou Xiao estimated that Ami Sato did not get good treatment after the general election in her previous life, and the members were likely to acquiesce, and the reason why the members could agree by default was probably the only reason for being rejected by the members.
And Zhou Xiao can be said to have helped Ami Sato solve a very big hidden danger this time, he estimated. After all these things are explained, there should be no problem that Sato is ostracized by the members, and the management finally has to be denied resources after he has made a leap forward.
As for Kojima and the other members of Group A. The end of this matter also brought them benefits, that is, Zhou Xiao's relationship with the members finally improved.
Ran back from the filming location of the TV series overnight to solve the problems of the members, patiently tied up the members to resolve the misunderstanding, and then when Kojima and Ami Sato went to find a house. It was also quickly introduced in the company a new regulation. That is, if a regular member rents a house in Tokyo, he or she will receive a monthly subsidy from the company, which is not much, but at least it makes it easier for members to afford the rent.
For them to be such a good and unpretentious people, the members finally gradually opened their hearts to Zhou Xiao, and gradually girls began to come over to talk to Zhou Xiao about various problems, most of these problems are small in Zhou Xiao's opinion, and they may be big problems for the girls themselves. But it wasn't a problem for Zhou Xiao at all, but he still replied to the girls very seriously. In order to make the girls feel their sincerity to the greatest extent.
Of course, helping the girls solve problems also wasted a lot of time for Zhou Xiao, especially taking up a lot of time outside of his filming work, many times, the crew was preparing for filming, and Zhou Xiao was sitting there staring at his mobile phone, replying to the girls' emails one by one.
Because he helped Yona Kojima solve the problem with Ami Sato, Zhou Xiao returned to Tokyo overnight, but he didn't even spend the night in Tokyo, and returned to the filming location in Yamagata Prefecture overnight.
Driving but Zhou Xiao went back to Yamagata Prefecture was another driver found by AZX, Zhou Xiao barely slept in the back seat of the car for a while, and when he returned to Yamagata Prefecture, the sky was even bright, Zhou Xiao simply didn't sleep, and after having breakfast with the rest of the crew who got up in the morning, he went to the crew to start the filming of the movie.
has been an artist for so many years, no matter how much Zhou Xiao controls his workload, he has not encountered a situation where he needs to stay up late, so just not sleeping all night is not a problem for Zhou Xiao at all.
The filming went on for another week, and Zhou Xiao's movie, which had been filmed for about eight months, was finally finished.
Before the filming was completed, the release of "The Undertaker" had already begun, and the specific time of the release was put in October 2007, in terms of the countries that were released, about a dozen countries in Europe and the United States have arranged the screening, and Asia, especially in East Asia, in addition to Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia have also arranged to be screened, not to mention these places, and even the mainland has also arranged the release.
In fact, this is not easy, because every year, the mainland's imported films have to allocate the vast majority of American blockbusters to such a limited number of places, and there are very few that are really left for foreign literary films, and even fewer can be turned by Japan, a neighbor who has never had a good relationship.
That is, Zhou Xiao, a Chinese and a big director, can get it without going through the market test to establish a reputation, and get the entry permit with a literary film, in fact, the domestic side does not want to be harsh on Zhou Xiao, but Zhou Xiao does not eat that set at all, the domestic market is still in a relatively embryonic state, and it will not be until after 2010 that China's film market will become super strong, and the films that enter the Chinese market will also share a part of the box office to the country, and AZX can not make much money, So Zhou Xiao didn't have the heart to please those people.
The completion of the movie is far from the time when Zhou Xiao can rest, in order to catch up with the release time and the Oscars at the beginning of next year, he plunged into the editing room and began to carry out crazy editing work, perhaps the big and small things have been done enough before, Zhou Xiao drilled into the editing room for nearly a month, the company and AKB ran step by step without any problems that Zhou Xiao needed to be busy, in August 2007, AKB's seventh single "My Sun" was released. It was announced around the same time as this single, and there is still a start time for the enrollment of five students.
On the company's side, a job that Zhou Xiao has been operating for a long time has finally been completed. In August 2007, Sakai Springs' contract with being expired, and then, the older sister moved the company's contract from being to AZX.
Zhou Xiao's relationship with being and Nagato Daiyuki is quite good, so this contract move, although theoretically it can be done without paying any price. AZX still accepted some other contracts from being except for Sakai Spring Water, most of which were junk contracts signed by being during normal operation, if Zhou Xiao did not accept it. These contracts will take up a considerable amount of working capital for being, which may not be a big deal for AZX, but it is very troublesome for being who is now cleaning up non-performing assets and wants to transfer the main business.
The arrival of Sakai spring water is of great significance to AZX. There are many young and cutting-edge artists in AZX, but there is a lack of older artists who live in the field. Her arrival has undoubtedly filled this gap, and Sakai Izumizu is a superstar, although her single sales are not so high, but she still has a lot of copyright income every year, and the sales of various albums and DVDs are also considerable, which is a very stable revenue point.
In addition to Sakai Spring, AZX also recruited another man when Zhou Xiao was filming this year, and the arrival of this man is not even inferior to the arrival of Sakai Spring, but Sakai Spring's migration has received a lot of attention from the Japanese media, and the addition of this person has been quiet. Even the vast majority of AZX staff didn't notice that they had just signed someone.
The man they signed was called Kenichi Maeyamada, and the name was ...... I'm afraid that Japanese food and AKB rice are very unfamiliar. There are some, but not many, people who are really familiar with this name in Chinese Japanese food, because in later generations he was the producer of most of the music of peach clover.
Kenichi Yamada is a very special person, he is not a professional musician debut, he was an online music creator when he first appeared in front of the world, and the niconico animation that now belongs to AZX is where he releases his works, which explains why Zhou Xiao is so easy to find him, he can check the number of niconico at any time, and Kenichi Yamada's profile is invisible in front of him.
In the history that Zhou Xiao originally experienced, Kenichi Yamada should have started to release works at niconico at the end of 2007, but the niconico of this world is different from the previous life, the niconico of this world is more famous than the previous life, because the niconico of this world was established Zhou Xiao advertised it, not to mention niconico, almost all works in AZX are endorsed by Zhou Xiao, for this, He also almost no longer accepts any other endorsements and advertisements related to Internet products other than AZX, although this has made him lose a lot of endorsement fees, but the advertising effect on AZX products is still obvious, including AZX's blogs, video sites and games, Zhou Xiao's endorsements can always attract considerable attention.
In addition to playing a considerable role in market share and user growth, Kenichi Yamada was a very important person attracted by him.
With Kenichi Yamada, Zhou Xiao's construction of peach-colored clover also has the most critical two.
In fact, the reason why Peach Grass can become popular is that it must be thanks to AKB, and it is precisely because of AKB's crazy nationalization process that some people hate it, so that the peach clover has almost no handshake meeting, and all live is almost a raw singing, surviving with an unparalleled sense of intimacy, and a completely different combination from AKB has grown into a group that can compete with AKB.
Of course, the reason why Momokusa's popularity is AKB is not only because of AKB, but also because they can succeed because they are really very hard working and very sincere. P is undoubtedly the "noble" of the idol group, each member is very cute, and the singing skills are almost the best among the idols, while AKB is a bit of an upstart, as for Momocao, this group looks like a refugee...... Almost every member of Peach Grass was selected and eliminated, they are not cute and have no talent or strength, and finally became popular in the entertainment industry, in terms of the merits of their bodies, there are only two words: hard work.
Although Momokusa has grown into a national group that competes with AKB in later generations, there is still a big gap with AKB in terms of gold absorption ability, no way, AKB's stall is too big, there are too many people, and five people from AKB can't compare to Momokusa's five people, but what about fifty people? AKB was a large group with more than 300 people in later generations, and the revenue figures for such a large group were very terrifying.
And the former Kenichi Yamada and Zhou Xiao have long been accepted into the company.,I've been cultivated according to the agent.,Kawakami アキラ, who has recently moved to the AKB department.,It's the most important two people to build Momokusa.。 (To be continued......)
